All 22 fighters on this past Saturday’s UFC 174 card received mandatory minimum medical suspensions, but three of them will be saddled with lengthy terms.

MMAjunkie on Monday received the complete list of suspensions from the British Columbia Athletic Commission, which supervised the card.

Ryan Jimmo suffered a broken arm in the opening bout of Saturday’s pay-per-view, and he will be shut down for 180 days. Additionally, he’ll need to be cleared by an orthopedic surgeon before his return thanks to the broken right forearm against Ovince Saint Preux.

On the preliminary card, Tae Hyun Bang banged it out with Kajan Johnson before earning a third-round knockout win. Bang has an indefinite suspension with no contact for 180 days, and he’ll need an X-ray of his nose and doctor clearance before he can return.

On the main card, Brendan Schaub looked worse than any other fighter at the event after his bout, a split-decision loss to Andrei Arlovski. He’ll be out for 90 days with no contact for 60 days. He’ll also need to be cleared by a doctor before returning to training after a CT scan of his head and cuts on his left eyelid and right side of his face.
